Thymises Dry Red P.D.O
A Bold Expression of Limnian Terroir- The Thymises Dry Red P.D.O. by Limnos Wines is a captivating dry red wine that reflects the rich heritage and unique environment of the island of Limnos. Crafted from the island’s prized Limnio grape, one of the oldest known Greek varieties dating back to ancient times, this wine embodies the essence of Limnos’ volcanic soils, sea breezes, and sun-drenched vineyards.
As a Protected Designation of Origin (P.D.O.) wine, Thymises Dry Red follows strict regulations, ensuring it is produced with grapes exclusively from Limnos, showcasing the island’s winemaking excellence. The result is a robust and characterful wine that tells the story of a centuries-old winemaking tradition.
A Deep and Complex Flavour Profile
Pouring a rich ruby red in the glass, Thymises Dry Red reveals an intense bouquet of dark berries, black cherries, and plums, layered with earthy notes of tobacco, spices, and a hint of oak. On the palate, it is bold yet refined, with flavours of ripe blackberries, cassis, and dark cherries, balanced by subtle hints of pepper, herbs, and a touch of smoke. The wine's structured tannins give it depth and a velvety mouthfeel, while its lively acidity adds balance and freshness to the overall experience.
This wine has an elegant, lingering finish, with notes of dried fruits, chocolate, and a gentle warmth from the oak aging, leaving a lasting impression of its complexity and refinement.
Perfect Food Pairings
The bold, complex flavours of Thymises Dry Red make it an excellent companion to a wide range of dishes. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, particularly lamb, beef, and game, as well as hearty stews and roasted vegetables. It also complements traditional Greek dishes like moussaka, kleftiko, and stifado, where the wine's depth enhances the rich flavours of these iconic meals. For a cheese pairing, enjoy it alongside aged cheeses such as kefalotyri or gruyere, where the wine’s fruitiness and spice balance the sharpness of the cheese.
